Important Note

Buying Options

Buying Options

It can be frustrating to find a piece of gear that you like, and then have no buying options. This filter aims to ease that problem. In the future we plan to add non-US retailers to this list and possibly call out each retailer directly.

We feel a little weird calling out Amazon separately as we're not huge fans of this mega-corp. We do this because we're partners with Amazon in multiple countries, so if somebody from the US, Canada, or UK clicks an Amazon link, it'll go to their country-specific Amazon page (when possible). At the moment, this is the only way to find non-US buying options on the site.

Online US retailer (76)

Amazon (57)

Weight (grams)

Weight

In grams, the weight, as stated by the manufacturer/brand.

The weight is the packaged weight. If there are differences in weight (due to optional accessories) we note them on the individual product page.

Price ($USD)

Price ($USD)

The full retail price in US dollars as stated by the brand/manufacturer/US distributer.

With non-US products, we have statically converted the price to US dollars.

This static conversion also means it's possible that there will be some misleading figures at times. The original price and currency will be noted on the individual product pages.

We scour the internet for new awards quarterly. If you know of some reputable awards that we’re missing, send us a note so we can check them out.

Brand

Brand

The list of manufacturers and brands that we have all the technical specs for.

If a brand is missing from this list (like Austri Alpin, Climbing Technology, Ice Rock and Singing Rock), scroll to the bottom of this page to see all the unfilterable gear we track, and ideally it'll be there.

If you don't see the brand you're looking for in the unfilterable products area, definitely send us a note so we can look into it further.

Unfiltered products

We do our very best to find and display every technical spec for every piece of climbing gear in the world. But sometimes we just can’t dig up a spec or two (usually it's the official price and weight). Sadly, this means not every product is available for filtering and sorting :(

If we allowed products that are missing key specs to display in the results above, these incomplete products would need to appear no matter what filters you chose. This would make the filtered results cluttered and misleading. So instead of leaving out these incomplete products entirely, we're listing them below:
